CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

The present application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional ApplicationNo. 63/061,020 entitled “CHANNEL MEASUREMENT RESOURCES (CMRS) ANDINTERFEROMETRY INTERFERENCE MEASUREMENT RESOURCES (IMRS) FROM DIFFERENTCELLS” filed Aug. 4, 2020, which is assigned to the assignee hereof andhereby expressly incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND

Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to wirelesscommunication systems, and more particularly, to channel measurementresources (CMRs) and interference measurement resources (IMRs) fordifferent cells.

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide varioustypes of communication content such as voice, video, packet data,messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be multiple-accesssystems capable of supporting communication with multiple users bysharing the available system resources (such as time, frequency, andpower). Examples of such multiple-access systems include code-divisionmultiple access (CDMA) systems, time-division multiple access (TDMA)systems, frequency-division multiple access (FDMA) systems, andorthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, andsingle-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems.

These multiple access technologies have been adopted in varioustelecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enablesdifferent wireless devices to communicate on a municipal, national,regional, and even global level. For example, a fifth generation (5G)wireless communications technology (which can be referred to as NR) isenvisaged to expand and support diverse usage scenarios and applicationswith respect to current mobile network generations. In some aspects, 5Gcommunications technology can include: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)addressing human-centric use cases for access to multimedia content,services and data; ultra-reliable-low latency communications (URLLC)with certain specifications for latency and reliability; and massivemachine type communications (mMTC), which can allow a very large numberof connected devices and transmission of a relatively low volume ofnon-delay-sensitive information.

For example, for various communications technology such as, but notlimited to NR, some implementations may increase transmission speed andflexibility but also transmission complexity. Thus, improvements inwireless communication operations may be desired.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Various aspects are now described with reference to the drawings. In thefollowing description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specificdetails are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding ofone or more aspects. It may be evident, however, that such aspect(s) maybe practiced without these specific details.

The described features generally relate to channel measurement resources(CMRs) and interference measurement resources (IMRs) for differentcells. Specifically, flexible time division duplex (TDD) corresponds tothe simultaneous uplink (UL)/downlink (DL) transmission in FR2. Forexample, flexible TDD capability may be present at either a networkentity (e.g., gNB) or a user equipment (UE), or both. For instance at aUE, the UL communication may be from one panel and the DL reception mayoccur at another panel. This instance may be conditional based at leaston beam separation. Accordingly, flexible TDD may reduce latency,enhance spectrum efficiency, and more efficiently utilize resources. Forexample, it is possible to receive DL signals in UL only slots which mayenable latency savings.

In an aspect, in New Radio (NR) Release 15 and 16, the configuration ofCMRs and IMRs does not include the cell identification (ID) and/or thephysical cell identification (PCI). That is, the CMRs and the IMRsbelong to the same serving cell and/or PCI.

For example, in an aspect, the present disclosure includes a method,apparatus, and non-transitory computer readable medium for wirelesscommunications for configuring CMRs and IMRs for different cells. Theaspect may include determining whether one or more CMRs and one or moreIMRs correspond to a single serving cell or a plurality of differentserving cells; determining whether the one or more CMRs and the one ormore IMRs correspond to a single PCI or a plurality of different PCIs;configuring the one or more IMRs with at least one of an additional PCIor an additional cell ID based on the determination whether the one ormore CMRs and the one or more IMRs correspond to the single serving cellor the plurality of different serving cells and whether the one or moreCMRs and the one or more IMRs correspond to the single PCI or theplurality of different PCIs; and transmitting the one or more CMRs andthe one or more IMRs with the at least one of the additional PCI or theadditional cell ID to a user equipment (UE) for measurements. Anotheraspect may include receiving one or more CMRs and one or more IMRs andat least one of an additional PCI or an additional cell ID from anetwork entity for measurements; determining one or more measurementconfigurations based on the one or more CMRs and the one or more IMRsand at least one of the additional PCI or the additional cell ID; andperforming one or more interference measurements based on the one ormore measurement configurations.

As used in this application, the terms “component,” “module,” “system”and the like are intended to include a computer-related entity, such asbut not limited to hardware, software, a combination of hardware andsoftware, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, butis not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor,an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, or acomputer. By way of illustration, both an application running on acomputing device and the computing device can be a component. One ormore components can reside within a process or thread of execution and acomponent can be localized on one computer or distributed between two ormore computers. In addition, these components can execute from variouscomputer readable media having various data structures stored thereon.The components can communicate by way of local or remote processes suchas in accordance with a signal having one or more data packets, such asdata from one component interacting with another component in a localsystem, distributed system, or across a network such as the Internetwith other systems by way of the signal. Software shall be construedbroadly to mean instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments,program code, programs, subprograms, software modules, applications,software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines,objects, executables, threads of execution, procedures, functions, etc.,whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode,hardware description language, or otherwise.

Techniques described herein may be used for various wirelesscommunication systems such as CDMA, TDMA, FDMA, OFDMA, SC-FDMA, andother systems. The terms “system” and “network” may often be usedinterchangeably. A CDMA system may implement a radio technology such asCDMA2000, Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA), etc. CDMA2000covers IS-2000, IS-95, and IS-856 standards. IS-2000 Releases 0 and Aare commonly referred to as CDMA2000 1×, 1×, etc. IS-856 (TIA-856) iscommonly referred to as CDMA2000 1×EV-DO, High Rate Packet Data (HRPD),etc. UTRA includes Wideband CDMA (WCDMA) and other variants of CDMA. ATDMA system may implement a radio technology such as Global System forMobile Communications (GSM). An OFDMA system may implement a radiotechnology such as Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), Evolved UTRA (E-UTRA),IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX), IEEE 802.20, Flash-OFDM™, etc.UTRA and E-UTRA are part of Universal Mobile Telecommunication System(UMTS). 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) are newreleases of UMTS that use E-UTRA. UTRA, E-UTRA, UMTS, LTE, LTE-A, andGSM are described in documents from an organization named “3rdGeneration Partnership Project” (3GPP). CDMA2000 and UMB are describedin documents from an organization named “3rd Generation PartnershipProject 2” (3GPP2). The techniques described herein may be used for thesystems and radio technologies mentioned above as well as other systemsand radio technologies, including cellular (such as LTE) communicationsover a shared radio frequency spectrum band. The description below,however, describes an LTE/LTE-A system for purposes of example, and LTEterminology is used in much of the description below, although thetechniques are applicable beyond LTE/LTE-A applications (such as tofifth generation (5G) NR networks or other next generation communicationsystems).

The following description provides examples, and is not limiting of thescope, applicability, or examples set forth in the claims. Changes maybe made in the function and arrangement of elements discussed withoutdeparting from the scope of the disclosure. Various examples may omit,substitute, or add various procedures or components as appropriate. Forinstance, the methods described may be performed in an order differentfrom that described, and various steps may be added, omitted, orcombined. Also, features described with respect to some examples may becombined in other examples.

Various aspects or features will be presented in terms of systems thatcan include a number of devices, components, modules, and the like. Itis to be understood and appreciated that the various systems can includeadditional devices, components, modules, etc. or may not include all ofthe devices, components, modules etc. discussed in connection with thefigures. A combination of these approaches also can be used.

FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a wireless communication system. Thewireless communications system (also referred to as a wireless wide areanetwork (WWAN)), includes an access network 100, base stations 102, UEs104, an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) 160, or a 5G Core (5GC) 190. The basestations 102, which also may be referred to as network entities, mayinclude macro cells (high power cellular base station) or small cells(low power cellular base station). The macro cells can include basestations. The small cells can include femtocells, picocells, andmicrocells. In an example, the base stations 102 also may include gNBs180, as described further herein.

In one example, some nodes such as base station 102/gNB 180, may have amodem 240 and a communicating component 242 for configuring CMRs andIMRs for different cells, as described herein. Though a base station102/gNB 180 is shown as having the modem 240 and the communicatingcomponent 242, this is one illustrative example, and substantially anynode may include a modem 240 and a communicating component 242 forproviding corresponding functionalities described herein.

In another example, some nodes such as UE 104 of the wirelesscommunication system may have a modem 340 and a communicating component342 for configuring CMRs and IMRs for different cells, as describedherein. Though a UE 104 is shown as having the modem 340 and thecommunicating component 342, this is one illustrative example, andsubstantially any node or type of node may include a modem 340 and acommunicating component 342 for providing corresponding functionalitiesdescribed herein.

The base stations 102 configured for 4G LTE (which can collectively bereferred to as Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS)Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN)) may interface with the EPC160 through backhaul links 132 (such as using an S1 interface). The basestations 102 configured for 5G NR (which can collectively be referred toas Next Generation RAN (NG-RAN)) may interface with 5GC 190 throughbackhaul links 184. In addition to other functions, the base stations102 may perform one or more of the following functions: transfer of userdata, radio channel ciphering and deciphering, integrity protection,header compression, mobility control functions (such as handover, dualconnectivity), inter-cell interference coordination, connection setupand release, load balancing, distribution for non-access stratum (NAS)messages, NAS node selection, synchronization, radio access network(RAN) sharing, multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS), subscriberand equipment trace, RAN information management (RIM), paging,positioning, and delivery of warning messages. The base stations 102 maycommunicate directly or indirectly (such as through the EPC 160 or 5GC190) with each other over backhaul links 134 (such as using an X2interface). The backhaul links 132, 134 or 184 may be wired or wireless.

The base stations 102 may wirelessly communicate with one or more UEs104. Each of the base stations 102 may provide communication coveragefor a respective geographic coverage area 110. There may be overlappinggeographic coverage areas 110. For example, the small cell 102′ may havea coverage area 110′ that overlaps the coverage area 110 of one or moremacro base stations 102. A network that includes both small cell andmacro cells may be referred to as a heterogeneous network. Aheterogeneous network also may include Home Evolved Node Bs (eNBs)(HeNBs), which may provide service to a restricted group, which can bereferred to as a closed subscriber group (CSG). The communication links120 between the base stations 102 and the UEs 104 may include uplink(UL) (also referred to as reverse link) transmissions from a UE 104 to abase station 102 or downlink (DL) (also referred to as forward link)transmissions from a base station 102 to a UE 104. The communicationlinks 120 may use multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antennatechnology, including spatial multiplexing, beamforming, or transmitdiversity. The communication links may be through one or more carriers.The base stations 102/UEs 104 may use spectrum up to Y MHz (such as 5,10, 15, 20, 100, 400, etc. MHz) bandwidth per carrier allocated in acarrier aggregation of up to a total of Yx MHz (such as for x componentcarriers) used for transmission in the DL or the UL direction. Thecarriers may or may not be adjacent to each other. Allocation ofcarriers may be asymmetric with respect to DL and UL (such as more orless carriers may be allocated for DL than for UL). The componentcarriers may include a primary component carrier and one or moresecondary component carriers. A primary component carrier may bereferred to as a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary component carriermay be referred to as a secondary cell (SCell).

In another example, certain UEs 104 may communicate with each otherusing device-to-device (D2D) communication link 158. The D2Dcommunication link 158 may use the DL/UL WWAN spectrum. The D2Dcommunication link 158 may use one or more sidelink channels, such as aphysical sidelink broadcast channel (PSBCH), a physical sidelinkdiscovery channel (PSDCH), a physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH),and a physical sidelink control channel (PSCCH). D2D communication maybe through a variety of wireless D2D communications systems, such as forexample, FlashLinQ, WiMedia, Bluetooth, ZigBee, Wi-Fi based on the IEEE802.11 standard, LTE, or NR.

The wireless communications system may further include a Wi-Fi accesspoint (AP) 150 in communication with Wi-Fi stations (STAs) 152 viacommunication links 154 in a 5 GHz unlicensed frequency spectrum. Whencommunicating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the STAs 152/AP 150may perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) prior to communicating inorder to determine whether the channel is available.

The small cell 102′ may operate in a licensed or an unlicensed frequencyspectrum. When operating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the smallcell 102′ may employ NR and use the same 5 GHz unlicensed frequencyspectrum as used by the Wi-Fi AP 150. The small cell 102′, employing NRin an unlicensed frequency spectrum, may boost coverage to or increasecapacity of the access network.

A base station 102, whether a small cell 102′ or a large cell (such asmacro base station), may include an eNB, gNodeB (gNB), or other type ofbase station. Some base stations, such as gNB 180 may operate in atraditional sub 6 GHz spectrum, in millimeter wave (mmW) frequencies, ornear mmW frequencies in communication with the UE 104. When the gNB 180operates in mmW or near mmW frequencies, the gNB 180 may be referred toas an mmW base station. Extremely high frequency (EHF) is part of the RFin the electromagnetic spectrum. EHF has a range of 30 GHz to 300 GHzand a wavelength between 1 millimeter and 10 millimeters. Radio waves inthe band may be referred to as a millimeter wave. Near mmW may extenddown to a frequency of 3 GHz with a wavelength of 100 millimeters. Thesuper high frequency (SHF) band extends between 3 GHz and 30 GHz, alsoreferred to as centimeter wave. Communications using the mmW/near mmWradio frequency band has extremely high path loss and a short range. ThemmW base station, which may correspond to gNB 180, may utilizebeamforming 182 with the UE 104 to compensate for the extremely highpath loss and short range. A base station 102 referred to herein caninclude a gNB 180.

The MME 162 may be incommunication with a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) 174. The MME 162 isthe control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 104 andthe EPC 160. Generally, the MME 162 provides bearer and connectionmanagement. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets are transferredthrough the Serving Gateway 166, which itself is connected to the PDNGateway 172. The PDN Gateway 172 provides UE IP address allocation aswell as other functions. The PDN Gateway 172 and the BM-SC 170 areconnected to the IP Services 176. The IP Services 176 may include theInternet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a PS StreamingService, or other IP services. The BM-SC 170 may provide functions forMBMS user service provisioning and delivery. The BM-SC 170 may serve asan entry point for content provider MBMS transmission, may be used toauthorize and initiate MBMS Bearer Services within a public land mobilenetwork (PLMN), and may be used to schedule MBMS transmissions. The MBMSGateway 168 may be used to distribute MBMS traffic to the base stations102 belonging to a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN)area broadcasting a particular service, and may be responsible forsession management (start/stop) and for collecting eMBMS relatedcharging information.

The 5GC 190 may include a Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF)192, other AMFs 193, a Session Management Function (SMF) 194, and a UserPlane Function (UPF) 195. The AMF 192 may be in communication with aUnified Data Management (UDM) 196. The AMF 192 can be a control nodethat processes the signaling between the UEs 104 and the 5GC 190.Generally, the AMF 192 can provide QoS flow and session management. UserInternet protocol (IP) packets (such as from one or more UEs 104) can betransferred through the UPF 195. The UPF 195 can provide UE IP addressallocation for one or more UEs, as well as other functions. The UPF 195is connected to the IP Services 197. The IP Services 197 may include theInternet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a PS StreamingService, or other IP services.
